A massive fire engulfed a residential high-rise building in London on
Wednesday 14 June, leaving at least 74 people injured and 12 dead.
The
London Fire Brigade dispatched at least 40 fire engines, 20 ambulance
crews and more than 200 firefighters in an effort to battle the
conflagration, at the 24-story Grenfell Tower in West London.
A
Nigerian woman (pictured) said she woke up to find the fire and got her
grandson out. She said no one came to her aid. No one raised an alarm,
NationalHelm reports.

The
fire brigade spokesperson confirmed she had never seen that kind of
fire in her entire career. The Fire Brigade is being criticized for
being slow in its response.
Authorities said they are monitoring
the stability of the charred structure, but that firefighters have
managed to search “most” of the building for remaining people.
The Metropolitan Police Service confirmed the rising death toll at a press conference on Wednesday.
